I'm eyeing on the Dreadnought series as well. Do you think you'll have a 57mm inverted piston as well like your new 510s ^_^;;

We are working on a revised dreadnought setup that will have this new valving/piston like the 510's. We also are working on a double adjustable setup as well!

Can't wait for tax check to come in so I can order a set of 500s for my coupe. So ready to feel the difference from Ksports.

What's the purpose of a thicker Piston , when some of the higher end shocks are smaller? Curios

Great question!
It is true most high end shocks such as penske, moton and ast use a 44 or 46mm piston.

The difference is that they are designed to be allowed in specific racing series and many series such as ALMS dictate a 46mm piston. In our circles such as drift and time attack there are no regulations on piston sizes.

Does a larger piston dictate that its better then a smaller one?
Well not always. For example if you take a 46mm moton shock that has a base valve that allows you to run lower nitrogen pressures and really excellent digressive piston design along with some of the best machining in the world. A slightly larger shock does not always mean superior.

The only advantage a larger shock provides is superior damping control and superior heat control. However in my opinion that is not what makes our shocks superior to most in the $1000-$1500 price range. It all comes down to the piston design and shim stack configuration. The larger diameter is a nice added bonus but not the defining characteristic of a better shock.

I was wondering, if I were to go to a higher spring rate, would I have to send my coils in to get them revalved or can I just throw them on and call it a day?

not 100% positive but i remember reading somewhere that you can go up or down 2k in spring rates and not have to revalve. i've never done it before so i'm not positive lol. just remember reading that.

put my fortune for the first time on the track and holy shit i love them far superior to stances, d-max, tien, R-Y-O, and megan well worth the tag price!! coils are superb when it comes down to drifting!

s13javier

alignment spec
front:
camber:-3.5
toe:.00
caster:7.5
rear
camber:-1.5 (tires last longer and have more grip in the rear which ive never done before but its a great feel when sliding)
toe:.02

Anyone else?

Anyone willing to compare FA 500's w/ Swifts vs PBM "Pros" (Super Light Linear Springs)?

Tubasteve1

so i just ordered my set of 500's for 1050, can i exchange them for 510s? havent even recieved them yet. i didn't hear anything about the 510s when i was talking to my tuner...

godrifttoday

the price difference is 449 bucks with swift u looking at in the 1700-1800 hundreds

Sweep graph of 510 series shocks we just built for our Civic Time Attack car. This is the same exact product you get when you purchase a set of 510 series shocks! Notice the low speed knee at 325lbs. That is crazy low speed rebound force for amazing control of driver inputs. Then the force quickly blows off for a compliant ride handling bumps and rough pavement beautifully! You can not find a shock graph like that for shocks that cost less then $3500....well except for now
These are valved for 12k and 14k rates.

Thank you for your patience and sorry for the delayed shipment of your coilovers. We have been inundated with orders this season. Since everything is hand built at our facility it takes longer then other companies unfortunately. We are planning to fulfill most back orders this week as we are playing catch up!

Please pm me your name and who you ordered the coilovers, so I can make sure they are on track.

Friends don't let friends buy knock-offs.

ZAKU

If you do go through with this plan, I give you one maybe two weekends of readjusting coilovers before you give up and set it permanently.

Frankz91
